I don't really have any questions about programs, extracurriculars, courses, or anything like that. I'm pretty well-versed on those things through research and stuff. My two FAQs are broader than that:
1) What's life like on campus?
- The only answer I could really find to this question all mostly say the same things...."Classes and grades are a big part of your experience".... "Students are friendly and don't be afraid to get involved"...and the MOST common: "It's WAAAAYYY better than High School"
2) How do you get along with your dorm-mate?
- Most college students say that dorm rooms definitely provide a great support system of people who are going through or have gone through the same things you are as a freshman. Which makes sense. The only concern I have is...how do you get along with your dorm-mate when you still have to set up the boundaries and rules needed in a roommate situation? Some people (on Google at least) have said that there's no "casual" way to go about doing this and that, basically, you need to dive right in. After kind of preparing them for the conversation, of course.
I hope that college is better than high school. I think that it would be good to have a conversation with your dorm mate so that you could avoid problems later on. This is also a good way to let the other person know your boundaries, likes, and dislikes.
ReplyDeleteFrom what I heard about college life is that it is very different from high school. I've heard from at least three college alumni or students that college is more peaceful. Also, many people have already figured what they'd like to do as a job. Therefore, people interested in the same topic get alone well.
